  1. online chemistry??

    tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    momtojosh, it wasn't bad at all. I got a B in both. I even missed one of my labs. If I had turned it in, I would have gotten an A in one of them. The main thing is studying. I knew pretty much...

  2. online chemistry??

    tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My chemistry course (as well as A&P I and II) were online through Florida State College at Jacksonville. They were all 4 credit hour courses (3 for standard course and 1 for the lab). The...

  3. online chemistry??

    tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had HS chemistry and I took it online. I thought surely I would fail, but somehow I managed a B. I think there was some creative grading going on in that class. With anything, you have to...

  4. For all of those on Medicaid

    tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    It actually looks like you are the one in need of clarification. I'm not a nurse and I clearly said so in my initial post. I am the mother of 3 children that are on medicaid and have been on both...

  5. For all of those on Medicaid

    tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Acutally, none of your post wast "tripping me up" nor do I need clarification. I think your posts are speaking for

  6. For all of those on Medicaid

    tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that there are a lot of people that abuse the system and don't work at all but what makes so many think that people on medicaid aren't also contributing by paying taxes? As I mentioned...

  7. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    tabacue replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I actually did that (or something similar) last week. My son has been hospitalized a few times. He is 4. He has been poked, prodded, allergy tested, iv'd, etc. until the poor kid probably feels...

  8. For all of those on Medicaid

    tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    This has got to be one of the most stereotypical statements I have ever read. Granted, I do see that you tried to soften the blow. My children have medicaid. I had medicaid when I was pregnant...

    tabacue replied to Honeybee737's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Honeybee - that is awesome! I think we should all keep in touch regardless of where we are (I'll be at Alabama Southern). Maybe we could have a study group....could be beneficial to see what...

  10. Report or not?

    tabacue replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I would not report. If it is still bothering you then maybe you should go directly to her. Tell her straight up that you felt she spoke in an unprofessional manner (in a non-hostile...

    sniper1, your posts were very informative! Even though I didn't ask the questions, thanks! Also, I was curious if anyone else noticed that JDCC is hiring a new Director of Nursing. Wondering how...

    Courtlane - Last admission I know a guy that got on the alternate list with points in the 160's range. I am not sure if he actually made it in. I think someone else posted about someone they knew...

    I got in!!!!!!!!! Alabama Southern Community College in Monroeville. I am soooooooo excited! Their last graduating class all passed the NCLEX - that is awesome. I can't

  14. Is this a problem? taking your neighbors blood pressure

    tabacue replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a thought...what if neighbor asks you to take BP, you decline (afraid of being sued) and she suffers heart attack/stroke. Family knows she went to you and knows you are capable of...

  16. issue with leaving newborn to return to nursing school

    tabacue replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It never feels like the right time. I have 3 boys and have always had to work. My first stayed with a family member until he was about 10 months old before starting daycare, which was great...made...

  17. "Think" about what you say!!!

    tabacue replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was a control issue for the patient at all. He was probably tired of being in the hospital for one and might have been a little grumpy and the completely innocent statement may have...

  18. I Have a Bad Feeling About This Student - Am I Over-reacting?

    tabacue replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    SunnyPup....please, please, please send me a PM when you have a moment. I believe my son attends middle school in the school district you are referencing, but I am pretty sure not the same school. I...

    Presnall - Good luck to you. I can totally identify with what you are saying and have been going back and forth myself. I wish you very much success in whatever you decide to do! The medical field...

    tabacue replied to Honeybee737's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yeah, I agree with Sniper1. The bridge program may be different. If you read the previous threads in this discussion, we have all applied for at least one program (standard RN program) and haven't...

    Wendysu - If I remember correctly it depends on whether you are a recent high school graduate or if you have had college courses. If you have had college you get points for Microbiology, A&P 1...

  22. Ethical Question...

    tabacue replied to ConcernedHealthcare3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you live, but in Florida we have something called the Baker Act, which allows immediate family members to require adults to get mental help. I assume that it works for rehab too,...

  23. Long time after High School

    tabacue replied to lmsparks's topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to get into nursing school myself and am so close I can't stand it. You should check into your local community colleges first. You'll have to take some college aptitude testing to see if...

    tabacue replied to Honeybee737's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I haven't decided. My ultimate goal is to get at least a Masters in Pyschology so I am seriously thinking about finishing up my AA (I only have Algebra and Stat left) in Psychology and going on to get...

    tabacue replied to Honeybee737's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Man, the scores must have been really high! I thought 140-ish might be good because of the girl last semestr with the 138 who made the waiting list. Well, we'll just have to keep
